Re: hotpoint swd60 dishwasher
Sounds like engineer time, lights 3+5 suggest a circulation pump fault,
Could be, faulty motor, capacitor or control module.
Please remove the mains plug if you intend to go further, remember that if the machine is under 5 years old you are covered by the manufacturers five year parts warranty.

None needed other than to handle the new stats with care, do not press on the base of the stats, and pull that plug of course.

More often than not, those two are mutually exclusive. 😥

Cheers Chris will check that out, I would have expected the 160° one shot to have tripped though. ❓

Did you charge the customer for removing the offending earring and 20p piece?
Why of course, they did phone Hotpoint first, the 10 day wait for a callout from Hotpoint and the fact that they knew it was something they had left in a pocket made the choice of me the next day at £45 inc new seal or Hotpoint at £89.95 almost two weeks later, a no brainer really. 8)
Also the fact that I have repaired this families machines for over 30 years may have had something to do with it as well. 😉

Re: Radio Programmes in Van/or Volvo.
Cannot stand Ken Bruce, boring and banal, turn him off as soon as Terry Wogan has finished, then I switch to local Key103, Classic FM or Radio 5Live.

Re: ariston awd12 spinning fault
For £300 you are just creeping into lower to mid range Bosch prices, a far better proposition than any Indesit/Ariston/Candy range. I am still repairing Hotpoint and Hoover machines that are well over 25 years old, sadly both of those brands are now Italian owned, along with Servis, all are now considered by the trade to be lower end products. We are doing our best here at UKWG’s to try and educate the public away from the ‘buy cheap. throw it away’ mentality. If you stop and think about it for one minute, buy a cheapo, sub £250 machine, throw it away after 3 years and buy another. in less than ten years time you will have spent £750 plus the cost of any repairs/insurance on machines that are likely to fail more often than the alternative. Pay £400 to £500 and you will, with luck get a machine that will last ten years or more with far less down time in that period. Do the maths, think of the environment, think of your pocket over the long term, you know it makes sense. 8)

bodieYou will be going from one cheap Italian machine to another, It might be a hackneyed saying, but in this trade it really is true, “you only get what you pay for.”

Re: External Condensor Box – Any Good? Or do I vent through
I may be wrong but I am sure I had one customer that used to fill his condensor box with ice cubes.

Re: Indesit w161 programmer
Then you have got problems. 😥 8 flashes is supposed to indicate that the heater relay on the main control board cannot be energised. In practise it can be wiring, NTC, pressure switch, control board etc, etc,
Use the site search facility, enter 8 flashes and all the Indesit/Ariston ones that come up should make interesting reading.
Often a very difficult fault to clear. Please remove the mains plug if you intend to proceed yourself or click the link in my sig to see if we have someone who can help.
